Ep. 4 LIVE Podcast: Winter Wellness Special at Malcolm Yards, MPLS

Episode 4 of the Rebel & Be Well Show:

On this week's episode, Rebel & Be Well spins off to record a winter wellness special - covering a handful of seasonally and culturally relevant wellness topics.

Christa Rymal is joined by Mike T. Nelson, Ph.D. an advanced research expert specializing in metabolic flexibility, heart rate variability, and human performance; as well as Thaddeus Owen, #biohacker, chemical engineer, and Manager of Products Regulations for MillerKnoll (also certified in training and nutrition).

During this conversation, ⁠ the trio gives listeners the inspiration, background, and knowledge needed for anyone wanting to safely try the dopamine-boosting (and now-popular) wellness practice: cold-plunge & sauna therapy.

Christa highlights what listeners may want to consider, while Thaddeus and Mike dive deep into perceived stress and adaptability; how experimenting with extreme temperatures can improve not only your physical (chemical) resilience but also your mental resistance.

As two guests with a large preference for supported science, the gentleman thus make themselves a valuable resource for anyone wanting to learn how-to begin cold plunging, breathwork and/or sauna therapy. The duo is exceptionally advanced in the field as well, so even those already familiar with the practice and now looking to improve performance will step away with clear suggestions on how to do so.

Thaddeus offers tips on technique and the less observable benefits (spiritual, emotional) of these practices, and Mike grants us insight into the physiological associations (and improvements) we see in ourselves and in studies from those who practice any or all of the above- regularly.

Enjoy the backdrop as the discussion was held live for an audience in the midst of The Great Northern Festival- a celebration of winter held in Minneapolis, MN.

Thank you to those of you who were watching LIVE with us in January of 2023, and for new listeners: tune in to discover how outside-of-the-box experiences like heat-cold exposure will give- way to improve other areas of your life. Enjoy! #rebelandbewell
